There are conflicting opinions above regarding whether to stock white or black crappie.
I think black crappie would be better in smaller ponds due to their tendency toward more diverse food patterns. My literature seaches indicate white crappie are more piscivorus than black crappie. I think the varied diet of black crappie will allow for better growth rates if forage fish become limiting in the pond.
Can others provide discussion why they think white crappie are beter to stock in ML's crappie experiment.
